How Much Lift? Have Measurements, Need Comparisons...

My '03 F-250 came to me with an unknown mfg's leveling kit already installed, and I'm struggling with absolutely HORRIBLE bump steer. It's literally all over the road... It's got drop spring hangers, longer shackles, a drop trac bar bracket, and the sway bar end link brackets have been relocated below the frame and use the stock end links. The shackles measure 7-1/2" center-to-center, and the drop spring hangers have the spring eye bolt 6" below the frame. Can anyone with either stock or known aftermarket lift heights get me some comparison measurements to help determine how much lift I've got? I'd like to lower it at least 1-1/2" or so from where it is now and then go about fixing the bump steer issue...

For anyone's future reference:

Stock SD shackles are 5" center to center.

Stock SD front spring hangers are 4.5" from bottom of frame to center of spring eye.
